Might Surprise You: 7 Hollywood Movies That Were Filmed In Asia
Hollywood productions have increasingly utilised diverse Asian locations as settings for major films. In these movies, you'll see Asia's authentic backdrops—ranging from historical temples to vibrant urban centers—with recognisable landmarks and landscapes appearing throughout. So, grab your popcorn, and see if you can spot the scenes shot in Asia! 1. Lara Croft: Tomb Raider (2001) - Hello, Cambodia! Angelina Jolie as Lara Croft, exploring the mystical, vine-covered ruins of Angkor Wat? ICONIC. This movie basically put Cambodia's ancient wonders on everyone's travel bucket list. Those sprawling temples, especially Ta Prohm with its trees growing through the stones, were pure cinematic gold. 2. The Beach (2000) - Thailand's Secret Paradise (Before It Became So Famous!) Leonardo DiCaprio searching for paradise, only to find a hidden, idyllic beach in Thailand? We've all dreamt of it! While the movie's "secret" Maya Bay on Koh Phi Phi Leh definitely got a little too famous after this film, you can't deny the sheer beauty that Danny Boyle captured. Thailand's turquoise waters and dramatic limestone cliffs were basically another character in this cult classic. 3. Kong: Skull Island (2017) - Vietnam, You Lookin' Good! The fantastical, mist-shrouded landscapes of Ha Long Bay and Ninh Binh's Trang An complex were the PERFECT, otherworldly home for King Kong. Seriously, those towering karsts and lush greenery looked like they were made for giant monster battles. Pure epicness! 4. Crazy Rich Asians (2018) - Singapore, You Slayed! This movie wasn't just a rom-com sensation, it was a love letter to Singapore! From the glittering Marina Bay Sands infinity pool to the breathtaking Supertrees at Gardens by the Bay and the vibrant hawker centers, Crazy Rich Asians showed the world just how glamorous and delicious this little red dot truly is. 5. The Dark Knight (2008) - Hong Kong's Urban Jungle Christopher Nolan bringing Batman to Hong Kong? YES, PLEASE! The iconic verticality and neon glow of Hong Kong provided the most incredible, gritty backdrop for some serious superhero action. Remember that epic scene where Batman glides from a skyscraper? That was Hong Kong, baby! 6. Jurassic World: Rebirth (2025) - Krabi's Wild Stonescapes While the original Jurassic Park didn't use Vietnam or Indonesia, the latest installment in the Jurassic World saga, Rebirth, actually filmed in the stunning landscapes of Thailand. Imagine towering limestone karsts, lush rainforests, and crystal-clear waters providing the perfect, prehistoric backdrop for some serious dinosaur action! This movie truly embraces the natural beauty of Thailand, making its national parks and islands (like Khao Phanom Bencha National Park and Ko Kradan) look like the ultimate lost worlds. 7. Thunderbolts* (2025) - Defying Gravity Florence Pugh actually brought her superhero prowess to Kuala Lumpur for some epic scenes in Marvel's upcoming Thunderbolts*. Yep, the iconic Merdeka 118, the world's second-tallest building, was apparently a major backdrop for some thrilling stunts, with Pugh herself reportedly jumping off the skyscraper as Yelena Belova. Beyond the heart-pounding action, Florence was also totally won over by Malaysia's food scene, even expressing a desire to learn some local dishes for her "Cooking with Flo" series.

Spoilers! What that 'Fantastic Four' end-credits scene means for Marvel
Spoiler alert! We're discussing important plot points and the ending of 'The Fantastic Four: First Steps' (in theaters now), so beware if you haven't seen it yet. Marvel's new 'Fantastic Four' hints at the coterie of bad guys who inhabit the heroes' 1960s comic-book world, with names like Mole Man, Red Ghost, Wizard and Puppet Master. But by the end of the film, audiences will have met a villain who brings doom and a glimpse of one who's named Doom. 'The Fantastic Four: First Steps' marks the Marvel Cinematic Universe debut for Reed Richards (Pedro Pascal), Sue Storm (Vanessa Kirby), Johnny Storm (Joseph Quinn) and Ben Grimm, aka the Thing (Ebon Moss-Bachrach). Years after gaining superpowers from being bombarded by cosmic rays in space, the astronauts-turned-superheroes face a new threat when the mysterious Silver Surfer, Shalla-Bal (Julia Garner), heralds the coming of the world-devouring Galactus (Ralph Ineson). And the only way he'll spare Earth is if Reed and Sue give him their newborn son, Franklin. Let's dig into that cataclysmic ending, those post-credits scenes and the oh-so-teasing glimpse of none other than Doctor Doom. Join our Watch Party! Sign up to receive USA TODAY's movie and TV recommendations right in your inbox What happens in the ending of 'The Fantastic Four: First Steps'? Because Franklin possesses the 'Power Cosmic,' Galactus seemingly eyes the baby as his planet-consuming successor. Reed and Sue convince people around the world to set up large devices that would allow Reed to teleport Earth out of Galactus' path of destruction. That doesn't work, so the Fantastic Four instead sets a trap for him in New York City, using Franklin as bait. Galactus figures out what they're doing, but Sue unleashes her powers to push the villain into a wormhole that would send him to the farthest reaches of the universe. It works, until Galactus starts to escape it. Johnny Storm decides to sacrifice himself and flies toward Galactus to send him back into deep space but at the last minute, Shalla-Bal knocks Johnny off course and does it herself, ending the threat to Earth. The exertion to defeat Galactus has seemingly killed Sue, but Franklin brings her back to life using his abilities. We'll see if the Surfer, who had sacrificed a life with her daughter to spare their planet from Galactus, comes riding back one day into the MCU. But Garner loved her character's ending because of how 'completely different' it was from her entrance. 'I always like it when you think somebody is a certain way on screen and then it ends up not being that way, and you end up being surprised,' she says. Who is Franklin Richards, the superpowered baby in 'Fantastic Four'? In the Fantastic Four comics, Franklin is one of the most powerful beings in the Marvel universe, and even as a baby in the movie, he's clearly not going to be a pushover in the MCU either. 'I always liked that this movie was about the smallest, newest, most innocent thing on a collision course with the largest, oldest, scariest thing in the universe,' director Matt Shakman says. The filmmaker wanted to play with the idea of parental anxiety and wanting to protect them from everything, but from the point of view of a superhero mom and dad who have to deal with threats constantly. Instead, Shakman says, Reed and Sue realize 'their child is so much more powerful than they could ever imagine.' At the end of the movie, Sue says to Reed, 'Who knows what he will become but he's here now.' 'That's all we can do,' Shakman says. 'Love our family and enjoy every precious moment that we have because the future is unknown.' Does the new 'Fantastic Four' movie have a post-credits scene? It has two! Shakman includes a fun little clip from the cartoon-within-a-movie 'Fantastic Four' show after all the credits roll. But the more significant sequence is a mid-credits bit set four years after the final 'First Steps' scene. Sue is reading to young Franklin, and he's already done Darwin's 'The Origin of the Species,' so she goes looking for the 1958 children's book 'A Fly Went By.' She comes back and is horrified to find a strange hooded figure speaking to Franklin and holding a familiar silver mask as Alan Silvestri's ominous 'Doom?' theme plays in the background. Enter Doctor Doom, the infamous Fantastic Four supervillain set to be played by Robert Downey Jr. in 'Avengers: Doomsday' (in theaters Dec. 18, 2026), though with just a taste and not even a proper reveal. 'He's so iconic, he's not in my movie,' Shakman quips. 'Doom is amazing. I mean, he's Tony Stark meets Doctor Strange – the idea of magic and mysticism mixed with science and technology. He and Reed are two sides of the same coin. They're both incredibly brilliant, but Doom also has vanity and hubris and all of this stuff." Will there be another 'Fantastic Four' movie? A sequel probably depends on if 'First Steps' is a hit. But fans won't have to wait too long to see Pascal, Kirby, Quinn and Moss-Bachrach back in action. They're all starring in 'Doomsday' – and likely its follow-up, 'Avengers: Secret Wars' (Dec. 17, 2027) – as the Fantastic Four will team up alongside Avengers, Thunderbolts, X-Men and various other superheroes against the not-so-good Doctor.

Fortnite x Fantastic Four: Are new skins coming? Did this character get dumped?
Fortnite players are no strangers to seeing their favorite fandoms collab with their favorite game. But guessing what mashup is coming next can be a challenge. Over on X and the Fortnite Leaks subreddit, rumors are percolating about the next collaboration being "Fantastic Four" themed. And it's not entirely out of the realm of possibility. On Feb. 7, 2024, the Walt Disney Company posted a press release on its website announcing that it would collaborate with Epic Games — the developer that owns Fortnite — to bring gamers characters and stories from Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars and more. Disney is so serious about this partnership that it invested $1.5 billion to acquire an equity stake in Epic Games. "The Fantastic Four: First Steps" is the newest addition to Disney's Marvel Cinematic Universe, and it's set for theatrical release on Friday, July 25, 2025, so it makes sense that Fortnite might have "Fantastic Four" character skins and more coming soon. Here's what we know about possible Fantastic Four Fortnite skins. Will there be Fantastic Four Fortnite skins? There's no definitive proof yet that Fortnite players will have "Fantastic Four" character skins, weapons, emotes and more. However, with Disney and Epic Games in cahoots, it would be more shocking if they didn't release a "Fantastic Four" collaboration ahead of the film's theatrical release on July 25. According to popular Fortnite leaker @ShiinaBR posted on X that skins have been confirmed for Reed Richards (Mister Fantastic), Sue Storm (The Invisible Woman) and Johnny Storm (The Human Torch). There doesn't appear to be any news about Ben Grimm (The Thing) having a skin, but it'd be odd to leave him out entirely. Also in @ShiinaBR's post were "confirmations" of new additions to gameplay like Fantastic Fists, Psionic Orbs and Torch's Flame, depending on which of the Fantastic Four you're playing as. Fantastic Four Fortnite: What fans want to see With the internet ablaze in the wake of this potential Fortnite and "The Fantastic Four" collaboration news, fans have flocked to X and Reddit to announce what they're hoping to see. Several fans left comments on @ShiinaBR's X post lamenting over The Thing being left out, with user @trevaced saying, "This is the Terrific Three, not Fantastic Four" and user @marvelf98840250 cheekily saying, "I think someTHING is missing here." Possibly the best comment on the post comes from @TheThing saying, "I'm not included?" with a sad face emoji. However, @ShiinaBR followed up her initial post with an update that includes The Thing along with what items fans can expect to come with each character. Meanwhile, over on the Fortnite Leaks subreddit, user Interesting-AD1352 shared @ShiinaBR's updated post, and fans quickly flocked to the comments section to say their wishes on the matter. A lot of users commented hope for all the "Fantastic Four" characters and their cosmetics to arrive in a bundle together, instead of having to pay for them each separately. User Ace-0001 said, "If Johnny doesn't get a built-in transform emote where he says 'flame on!' then what are we doing here?" And user figgityjones said, "If Reed doesn't have a stretchy fist pickaxe I'm gonna be destroyed. All I can hope is that the emote is like one of those emotes that pulls a pickaxe out."
